TWINPLAST CONTINUES TO LEAD THE PACK WITH RETURNABLE PACKAGING

Twinplast remains at the forefront of the expanding market for multi-trip returnable packaging products.

The Watford-based manufacturer of plastic corrugated packing products has kept pace with both exacting EU and national packaging waste standards and increased demand from specifiers for versatile, cost-effective and environmentally aware packaging solutions.

Since being launched earlier this year a growing number of companies are using Twinplast Transits. The innovative packaging, that has a lifespan of at least 100 trips, is being used for the packaging and transportation of a wide range of products including car components, electrical products and fresh and pre-packed foods.

Twinplast's reputation as an industry leader in the development of environmental products and processes was recognised when it was awarded the international BS EN ISO 14001 standard, one of the smallest companies to achieve the rigorous environmental benchmark.

With the packaging industry undergoing enormous change due to the far-reaching implications of environmental legislation, the award means Twinplast has demonstrated its commitment to staying at the cutting edge of developing high quality packaging that complies with customer and environmental demands.

In the new climate, Twinplast is demonstrating obvious advantages when compared to cardboard with its limited lifespan and high waste volumes. Twinplast Transits are totally recyclable and reduce the liability of companies under the Packing Waste Directive.

At the end of their useful life, Twinplast encourages customers to return used transit boxes for reprocessing into material that can be used again for packaging applications. The many other benefits of Twinplast Transits include their smart appearance and ease of assembly, combined with strength and durability. The lightweight boxes can then be flat packed for multiple return journeys.

When there is a need for reinforced transit boxes Twinplast can supply a lightweight alternative to rigid plastic. The Twinplast range includes plastic corner components providing the strength of a rigid plastic box without the associated increase in weight and cost.

The boxes can then be easily stacked with open tops, with dividers for components if required.

Twinplast Transits are tailored to customers' individual specifications and are available in an infinite variety of configurations to keep products safe from damage during delivery and storage, whilst looking good on display. Unlike plastic injection mouldings, production runs can be as low as 100 and still be economically viable.
